"The only thing wrong is the low amount of time he will spend inside. Should have been 6 months (served) so 12 given."
Not possible, youngmaf. He was charged with Common Assault (and there really could be no other charge) which carries a maximum of six months.
To be fair, 3Ts, I did say "very few" and not none. There are always going to be cases like the one you mention. You also need to bear in mind that when sentencing to a custodial sentence a judge (or magistrate) firstly arrives at a sentence and then (separately) considers whether the sentence can be suspended. Of course it makes no material difference to the defendant - he walks if the sentence is suspended. One thing that does surprise me is that it is Judge Jamie Tabor who is involved. From what I read of his sentencing he is one of the more robust members of the judiciary. He obviously saw something in the scumbag which is not readily visible to everybody else!
